Hi Jordan, thank you for reaching out about your order. I am sorry the package has not arrived yet. I checked the tracking details, and the carrier shows it left our warehouse on Monday and is now at the regional hub. It should reach you within two business days. If it has not arrived by Friday, reply to this email and I will send a replacement at no cost. I have also added a credit to your account for the trouble. We appreciate your patience and your business, and please let me know if there is anything else I can help with today.

Start typing to begin the clock. Pasting is turned off, just like on a real hiring test.

Why support tests feel different

Customer emails mix friendly sentences with exact details: names, dollar amounts like $89.00, time windows and steps. A typo in an amount or name matters more than in casual text, so accuracy is the thing to protect.

What to expect

Many support roles screen with a short timed typing test, sometimes alongside a written reply or chat simulation. Requirements vary by company, so read the posting and ask the recruiter how long the test is, whether it's scored in net or gross WPM, whether backspace works, and whether there's a 10-key or data-entry part.

Practice tips

Type the full reply including greetings and sign-offs, keep a steady rhythm instead of bursts, and fix a mistake only in the word you're on. Then try the data-entry form drill, since many support jobs also log tickets and account numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is on a customer service typing test?

Usually a timed passage to copy, scored in words per minute and accuracy. Some employers add a written reply, a chat simulation or a data-entry section. Ask the recruiter what the assessment includes.

How fast should I type for customer service?

It varies by employer and role, so check the job posting. Accuracy matters as much as speed, because customers see every mistake in names and amounts.

Does this test use real customer emails?

No. The passages are original text written for RiteType in the style of real support replies, with no real customer data.
